Humana Tennessee Medicare Advantage HMO Achieves Highest Medicare Stars Quality Rating
Statewide plan receives 5-star rating for 2019
The Humana Gold Plus HMO is offered in 50 counties throughout
“We are very honored to receive this recognition from CMS, and especially thankful to the more than 125,000 Medicare Advantage members in
The Medicare 5-star rating system rates the excellence of Medicare plans nationally. A plan may receive a rating between one and five stars, with five stars representing the highest rating. Star ratings are calculated each year and may change from one year to the next.
CMS uses information from member-satisfaction surveys, health plans, and health care providers to assign overall star ratings to plans. The rating system uses more than 40 different quality measures in five categories, including:
- Staying healthy: screening tests and vaccines
- Managing chronic (long-term) conditions
- Member experience with the health plan
- Member complaints and changes in the health plan’s performance
- Health plan customer service
CMS posts the updated ratings, prior to the Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan Annual Election Period (AEP), at www.medicare.gov. The AEP, for plans that are effective
Receiving the 5-star rating also means that Medicare beneficiaries have the flexibility to switch to the Humana 5-star rated Medicare Advantage HMO plan at any time of the year, using certain guidelines, rather than being limited to the AEP.
